**Expected Annual Commission Rate when User Restakes HYDT Payout Every Month**

This commission rate table is what Promoter could expect to receive in one year if referrals Restake HYDT payout once per month. This commission table is more practical as user need to restake HYDT constantly to keep receiving high APY.

**How Does This Benefit You?**

* The beauty of this structure is that you earn rewards not just from people you refer directly, but also from the extended network that grows from your referrals. This means your earning potential increases as your network expands, even if you are not actively making new referrals yourself.

**Getting Started:**

* To start earning, simply go to Affiliate Panel, copy and share your unique referral link with friends, family, social network, and your community. As people stakes HYDT using your link, you'll begin earning cash back according to the structure outlined above.
